Box 25277 Cleveland Ohio 44125 a comments of writer Are questioned the writer who lambasted the saudis Labelling of Christian a a material As contraband was right on target. One thing astounded me however the writer s remark that a fall those rights found in the Constitution and the Bill of rights Are based on and found in the As a Christian it troubles me when 1 hear claims for the Faith that distort the truth it serves neither the Faith nor the believer. V to begin with there is not one right or Liberty granted to an individual in the main body of the Constitution. And As for the rights enumerated in the first ten amendments the Bill of right the five contained in the first two amendments Are the ones most of us Are daily concerned with Freedom of religion speech press Assembly and bearing arms. Quot All the rest have to do with Legal proceedings and due process. A i can nowhere in the Bible find where such rights or such guaranteed Legal proceedings Are described or even alluded to. Nor can i find who among the ancient israelite Ever practice democracy or advocated it. And certainly christianity the religion has never been democratic or have i somewhere along the line missed out on voting a Joe Wiegman Lindsey air station Germany pow mias in Gulf remembered though you May not know us we have come to know you through your bravery and unhesitating answer to the Call of duty.

Harrisonburg a. 22801 a Reader says War reporters being used 1 sit Here again today listening to continuous coverage of the War in the Gulf. 1 hear broadcast after Broad-1 cast of speculation and emphasis on iraqi scud firings. Saddam Hussein listens to what we listen to and in my estimation the news has become his most powerful weapon. Every Day Saddam watches and listens pulling his ideas and information from the Pool of reports using what makes news and what worries westerners us his weapon. V the constant plus on scuds disturbs me the most. If All the emphasis Tiad been placed on air raids would those missiles have been fired reporter after reporter give Saddam More ammo it playing on our fears. Do people not wonder Why Peter Arnett of can was allowed to stay in Baghdad his being used As another weapon for a mad terrorist is not a Surprise to me. I believe with All my heart in our freedoms but along with those freedoms comes responsibility. The no. 1 responsibility is the hundreds of thousands of troops lighting to protect those freedoms.

T a saving Oil is the answer 8th-grader says i am an 8th Grade student. 1 am writing to you to express my feelings about the Way our country depends on Oil Quot and Hope i can make others aware of this prob Lent. More than three fourths of our country a Homes and buildings Are heated by Oil and the amount of Oil spent in running cars trucks boats and others forms of transportation is frightening. This has to be stopped. Think about it our demand for Oil is what started this whole conflict Down in the persian Gulf. Granted we want Kuwait to be free but i seriously doubt that a America would be involved in the Middle East if there Wasny to any Oil there. In a hot implying that we should totally Boycott the use of Oil just that we need to save it. If everybody in America turned their Heaters Down just six degrees millions of barrels of Oil would be saved. If every body would ride a Bike or walk whenever they needed to get somewhere close that would save Oil and Money. Organizing a car Pool or Riding the bus Are also Good ways of getting around and saving Oil at the same Tim.
